Kind: tension
Record: tension:composition-over-inheritance-simplicity-for-trivial-reuse
Canonical: Schema
"composition-over-inheritance" (structural-core layer) is traded against "Simplicity for Trivial Reuse" (structural-core layer) — a principle cannot be scope-separated from a quality, metric, or cost it competes with; resolve by measuring "Simplicity for Trivial Reuse" and choosing an explicit operating point.
